So when it comes to Highlander, this car has no obvious advantages or obvious disadvantages, but it is too balanced. Therefore, this car is definitely a "good bucket". Therefore, the reason why it is called a benchmark is precisely its balance and moderation. Since ancient times, being a good general is definitely not the most capable, but the most balanced. That's the reason.
So why is it balanced? Simply analyze it.
In addition to the minimum models, the current Highlander is also equipped with 7 seats. As a medium-sized SUV, it has a wheelbase of 2790mm, a length of 4890mm, a width of 1.925mm and a height of1.720/1.71.5 mm, and its rear seats support a ratio of 4:6.
If the space of this car can't meet you, then I believe that more than 90% of the models on the market can hardly meet your requirements.
Toyota brand models have always given us the impression that leather is solid and durable. SUVs include Land Cruiser and Prado, and cars include Camry and Corolla, all of which are very powerful models.
There is a joke on the Internet:
This also emphasizes the reliability of Toyota brand models from the side. Similarly, Highlander is fortunate to inherit this trait. If it is a family car, it is absolutely competent.
The current version of Highlander is only 2.0T, and the previous versions of 2.7L and 3.5L V6 have been discontinued for a long time. Of course, this is not a pity, because its 3.5L V6 version doesn't sell well. Before it canceled the 3.5L V6 version, the sales of the 3.5L version only accounted for about 2% of the sales of this car. Needless to say, the 2.7L model was discontinued as early as 20 15.
Judging from the average fuel consumption of the owner, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of this 2.0T engine is about 1 1- 12 oil, which is definitely not much for such a medium-sized SUV.
Many people say that this car is going to increase in price, which is shameless and so on. But in fact, you think Highlander has a very high rate of preservation. After five or six years of business, the rate of value preservation can even be maintained at 60%-70%, which offsets the cost of price increase to some extent.
Of course, the price increase is a problem, because the production capacity of this car is really limited. If we look at its sales volume, it will remain at around 8000- 10000 units per month. If the supply exceeds the demand, the price will definitely be firm.
So in general, if you are going to buy a 7-seat medium-sized SUV with a price of around 300,000, I think Highlander should be your first choice.
If someone asked me a budget of 300,000 two or three years ago, what should I choose to buy a seven-seat SUV? I may have said without thinking that Highlander must have bought it at this price. But it's already 2020. If you ask me about the budget of 300,000 yuan and what SUV to buy, I may really have to think about it for a while, but the final answer should not be Highlander. The overall performance of Highlander car is really good, the later preservation rate is also very good, and the stability is quite reliable. But now it has reached the end of the life of this generation of Highlander, and the new model will be listed soon.
If the current Highlander can be sold at a reduced price before the replacement like other models, then Highlander is at least cost-effective. Highlander, which is about to become an old model, now not only offers a penny discount, but also needs to increase the price if you want to buy a car. Who can stand it?
But the reason why Highlander is called the magic car naturally has its reason. Although I feel that Highlander is worthless, it seems that there are many people who start with Highlander now. Shandong netizen Xiaodong recently bought a luxury version of Highlander's four-wheel drive. Let's see if his car is expensive.
Xiaodong's four-wheel drive luxury official guide price is 299,800. At present, buying a car needs to increase the price by another 2000 yuan, whether it is the full amount or the loan. Although the price increase is not much, the individual can't accept the price increase for the models that have been listed for so many years.
The price sold to Xiao Dong at that time was calculated. If it is purchased in full, the purchase tax is 26,707 yuan, the insurance is 9,500 yuan, and the total landing price is about 338,000 yuan. If the loan is bought, the loan will be paid off in three years, and the monthly repayment amount is 4666 yuan. After three years, the total repayment will be 65,438 yuan+067,976 yuan, and the interest will not be too high to 65,438 yuan +0.8 million yuan. The loan cost is 5,000 yuan, and the total landing price of the loan is 23,000 more expensive than the total landing price of the full amount. In the end, Xiaodong chose to buy in full. Apart from increasing the price by 2000 yuan, he didn't charge any messy fees, but he didn't get any gifts either.
Highlander's car gives me the feeling that it is stable, valuable and old. Although the overall shape is not out of date, it is not fashionable either. The overall shape of the central control is also quite satisfactory. There is no fully LCD instrument panel, but the quality is a lever. Sitting five people in a daily household won't feel crowded at all, and occasionally two people can barely cope with emergencies.
Xiao Dong said that the overall performance of this car is excellent. The only dissatisfaction is that the engine noise is relatively loud, and sometimes the hiss of the engine is really hard to hear when stepping on the accelerator. Then the price is too expensive, compared with other common joint venture brand models, the configuration is a little lower.
After Xiaodong bought a car, all his friends around him congratulated him. However, when they promoted Xiao Dong, they all muttered that it is really not a wise choice to buy Highlander for more than 300,000 now. Some people think that this price is suitable for buying Audi Q5L, while others think that this price is suitable for buying beggar version. Anyway, it is right not to buy Highlander. Although everyone agrees that the overall attributes of Highlander are good, everyone has a bad impression of this car at this price.
Don't buy the SUV seven-seat version. The rear seat is suitable for children's seats, but it is very troublesome to install children's seats. Can you make up this picture?
The eyes of the masses are discerning! Cars running all over the street can't be bad
